https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280518 --- Comment #1 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> --- Presumably in this case all the permissions of regular files are also kind of whacky for said NFS root? That is, binaries like /bin/ls are owned by a random user ID and not root:wheel when accessed remotely? I think in the vast majority of cases this check is useful and gives a better error than an obscure permission error later in the process. We could add a new flag to permit running as non-root. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
